Family Getaway
Pros:

Good size apartment, easy walk to shops, restaurants & other amenities, big veranda, free parking & comfortable bed.

Cons:

You will need to bring your own hair conditioner, body wash, body lotion, shower cap & tissues box with you as they only provide a small tube of shampoo & soap bar.

The master bedroom has a bath tub but you will need to bring your own bubbles bath to use the bath.

The main bedroom is dark & depressing… no view but internal balcony with aluminium slate enclosure. No clothes hangers provided in the wardrobe too.

An alarm kept going on in the first night in our apartment 403 where we stay… My husband & decided not to stay the second night but our son continued to stay on to enjoy Mooloolaba area.

Great stay overall.
Pros:

Great location. Easy to get to all the shops and cafes etc.

Cons:

Cleanliness of the apartment. Everything had to be washed before we used it - glasses, cutlery etc as they were not cleaned properly. Rubbish found under coffee table. Kitchen cupboards were dirty (we wiped them down). Ensuite toilet needs a very good scrub.

Pros:

The location is great and the cost is reasonable.

Cons:

The floors need a good mop, again my feet were dirty when walking around when we first got there. There are areas of the apartment that are just tired and need a bit of love. The batteries in the tv remote were corroded.
